Pathaan director Siddharth Anand says he chose Deepika Padukones orange bikini randomly: Never gave it too much thought..

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Pathaan received a lot of love from the audience as soon as it released but, shortly before the release of the Siddharth Anand film, things looked quite bleak for the makers with many political outfits calling for a boycott of the film..

The controversy ignited after the release of the films first song Besharam Rang, where many objected to the colour of Padukones bikini..

However, this did not happen.. Now, months after the release of the film, Siddharth has opened up about why he chose the saffron bikini for the song..

We knew that there was nothing objectionable in our film, he said.. Siddharth said that he would not blame the audience for reacting on the controversy as they had not watched the film until then, and appreciated how the audience flocked to the theatres when the film was released..
